Andrea Woroch provides some tips on choosing the right tree
Of the Christmas tree decorating folk, there are those of us who like assembling the same fake one year after year, and there are those of us who wouldn’t put up with anything less than the real thing. It is pretty hard to beat the smell of a real tree. If you fall into the latter category, consumer savings expert Andrea Woroch has the following tips:
1. Ask Where It Came From
Some Christmas tree lots buy trucked-in trees before (American) Thanksgiving, meaning they’ll drop needles faster than airlines can raise their baggage fees. Weeks may have passed since those trees were originally cut, so always ask the vendor where and when they buy their trees.
